"Heart" by Natsume Soseki is a literary fable intertwined with the abyss of human nature and the rifts of the times. It is set against the background of the fierce collision of old and new values in the late Meiji period. Through the dual tragedies of "Mr." And K, it reveals the spiritual dilemma of intellectuals in the quagmire of egoism. The novel uses a nested narrative structure ("my" snooping, Mr.'S suicide note, K's death) to peel back the hypocrisy and fragility of human nature layer by layer: Mr. Fell into doubts about the world due to his uncle's betrayal, but he made the same mistake again when fighting for the girl. He pursued self-interest in the name of "moral admonition" and finally committed suicide with eternal remorse for K's death, becoming a martyr of the Meiji spirit. ; As the embodiment of idealism, K's suicide is not only the collapse of pure faith in reality, but also the epitome of the tearing between the "westernized shell" and the "traditional core" in Japan's modernization process. Soseki used a cold psychological analysis to sublimate individual guilt into a disease of the times - when traditional ethics collapse and individualism becomes illusory, people are unable to escape their selfish instincts and cannot withstand the judgment of conscience, and can only become "semi-awakened prisoners" in loneliness and alienation. This novel is like a prism, reflecting the eternal dilemma of human beings: how to find the resting place of the soul in the gap between desire and morality.
The husband really loves his wife. He has lived for her for decades as if torturing himself. He has lived with K's decades-long guilt. In the end, he does not want to leave such an unbearable past in his wife's life. This is the husband's insistence. But this way the wife is not happy, and the husband is even more miserable. I started to doubt others because of my uncle, and I started to doubt myself because of K. I thought that I was as untrustworthy as my uncle. It's really painful to feel that what you have been pursuing, the meaning of life, suddenly collapses, especially if it is destroyed not by the outside world but by your own hands. K's suicide was similar to that of his husband. What he insisted on suddenly collapsed, and the pressure of his husband's survival also exerted pressure on K's life. The first half of my husband's life was full of twists and turns, including happiness as a child, the pain of being deceived by his uncle, the happiness of falling in love with a young lady, and the pain of K's suicide. My husband's suicide note really exposed his heart without mercy, so straightforward and frank, without any concealment. How many people can do this? Whether you are good or like evil, who can define it? It is enough for us to reflect on ourselves objectively, examine ourselves, and not do anything we regret.
The last part describing the change in my husband's mentality made me suddenly realize that it coincided with my own thoughts. No matter what others think, I always think that I am a gentleman, but the occurrence of a certain incident shook my belief. This is indeed the case, no one can fault it. Real masters talk to themselves, get to know themselves, and thus get to know everyone. After you truly know yourself, you no longer have the courage to evaluate anyone.
A person who can love others, a person who can't help but love others, but who can't stretch out his arms to hug someone who wants to fall into his arms - this person is Mr.
If I were your husband, maybe I would choose the same path as him. No matter where the description is, I feel that I can understand him very well. At that time, he was young for his own selfish desires, which indirectly led to the death of his friend. The fault was not entirely here, but there was really no better way at the time. If it was possible, if this, thousands of ifs, countless regrets, and the feeling of atonement, finally overwhelmed the husband and chose to commit suicide. The husband's heart also has a good ending...
The writing style is melancholy, and the ending feels like loss.
I may never meet someone like my husband in real life, especially the kind of friendship that requires no words. Perhaps the relationship between "me" and my husband goes far beyond the worldly definition. Some people may think that your husband is guilty, but he can teach you the principles of life and the person who gives you a job must be cherished in reality.
Cut open one person and gain one heart; cut open one heart and gain one person
When you cannot see the value and hope of living, your heart is dead. The husband's heartache began when he was deceived by his uncle. From then on, he could not trust anyone or open his heart to anyone, even his close wife. He believed that the death of his friend K was due to his pursuit of the young lady. From then on, he put his heart in prison and no longer had the pleasure of life. The gentleman is a philosopher, and his analysis of human nature and people's hearts is undoubtedly profound, but it is also very negative. He didn't want to be hurt again, so he stopped himself from having in-depth communication with anyone from the beginning.
The candlelight finally swayed and the shadow disappeared in front of "me". After reading the whole book, the reader is left with many things to think about. Faced with a series of issues such as the suicide of his dying father and the husband whom "I" cherish, as well as the family property and what should happen to his wife after the husband's death, how should a newly graduated college student deal with it?
The husband was originally a sincere and carefree person, but he discovered that the people closest to him were benefiting from money and after he refused to marry his cousin, his previous attitude was completely different. He felt "abandoned" for the second time, which also promoted the growth of the husband. In turn, it was the beginning of the husband's so-called "evil"... When he met K, he helped K in his life. In terms of life, Mr.'S kindness can be regarded as Mr.'S salvation for him, and some aspects of K seem to be what Mr. Wants to achieve, so as to constantly make Mr. Internal friction and frustration... Especially after discovering that he likes the lady, people's selfishness will cover up their true intentions. On the contrary, while K is redeeming Mr., Mr. K is also redeeming K. When After being concealed, deceived and abandoned again, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. K's death was an unspeakable pain for the rest of his life. He became the indirect creator of the tragedy, and his kind wife was his last hope... And the appearance of "I" made him see his past self, just like reincarnation. If at that time "Sir" appeared, and he behaved in the same way... Especially my appearance did not bring anything different to him. People who are not mentally motivated are scum. He stimulated K with these words, and he became such a person... So death is a kind of relief for Mr., Mr. Should die. (Purely personal opinion)
A hundred years later, it still reads today. The meticulous carving of the heart and the exquisite writing style are unsurpassed. What kind of environment creates a great writer? It delights us to leave behind such a literary treasure.
This book is very in-depth, and I was deeply impressed by the complex psychology and contradictions of the "Mr." In the story. His sentence "I am a lonely person, but I do not have the ability to eliminate loneliness" really touched me. Although the love described in the book is a bit complicated and twisted, it also made me understand the true meaning of love better. Overall, "Heart" is a good book worth reading. I recommend it to you!
K was abandoned by his father and adoptive father when he came to live at the lady's house. He was grateful for the kindness of his friend (that is, the husband). If the wife died and the husband's wife was the only one left in the world, then the only person K could rely on at this time was the husband. So when he fell in love with the lady, his life creed conflicted with his strong feelings, and he only told his husband, hoping to get help. But he never thought that his husband also loved the lady, regarded him as a competitor and spoke harshly. Finally, he learned from his wife the news of the engagement between the lady and her friend. His inner struggle became even more intense. His beloved and best friend were far away from him. He had no hope in life anymore and ended his life. Besides, Sir, the male competitiveness stimulated by hormones dissipated with K's suicide, and was replaced by regret for the harsh words spoken to his past friends. The disappointment that his uncle brought to his husband made him unable to be honest with K. However, he wanted to treat K well but when K touched his own interests, he did not care about friendship and plotted against K. When he found that he was no different from his uncle, he was unable to recover after K committed suicide. At this point, my husband became pessimistic about people, and he spent the rest of his life feeling guilty and self-blame. As for who the lady likes, whether she falls in love with her husband after marriage or cannot forget K, how she feels after K commits suicide, and how she feels after her husband commits suicide, each reader has their own answer in their mind. These are important but not very important. No matter what the answer is, the development of the story will not change, but we hope that after losing her husband, the only support in the world, the lady can become her own support and live calmly and firmly.
Because of life, the book review was delayed for a few days. The human mind is unpredictable and everything has a cause and effect. When I look at it from a God's perspective and feel the story of this book, because my ability to empathize is pretty good, even though the characters in the book do some incomprehensible things, I can understand why they do it, and I constantly switch perspectives to think and understand. The deaths of K and Mr. Made me sigh. When reality is unsatisfactory and faith collapses, how can we not think of death? Fortunately, for them, death is indeed a kind of relief. Fortunately, there is "I", and my husband can reveal the secret that he has endured so much. I think after writing the long letter, I should have breathed a sigh of relief. My husband, who has been living with a heavy heart since K's death, finally relaxed and walked calmly to another world. Have a good trip sir. Why is it named "Heart"? The answer lies in the book. The human heart is separated from the belly. You can see the person but not the heart. Just like the betrayal of relatives in the book, K's change in feelings towards women, the husband's concealment from K, his sudden confession, etc. The wonderful thing is that when reading this book, we will find that we are looking, thinking, and examining the hearts of the characters in the book and our own hearts.
1. The book is beautiful. After reading it, I felt: As long as we observe carefully and understand, everyone is born valuable and interesting, and only those who are born will be useful. There is also the anger of not knowing who to blame and the sadness of finding that there is no one to blame. 2. After reading the introduction, I feel that the introduction is wrong. My thoughts: Mr. K's death was not innocent. From the world's perspective, it was just a pile of snowflakes that caused an avalanche. 3. I summarized the content of the letter as follows: "Mr.'S father, mother, and uncle, who had no descendants, took over a lot of his property. After breaking up with his uncle's family, he lost trust in people and left his hometown. He rented a house with the wife and young lady, a military widow. He fell in love with the lady and was cured by the lady and the lady and got rid of the haze. - He wanted to help little K, who was in financial difficulty, and took him in. But K told him that he He fell in love with the lady. The husband told him that if he liked her, it would be contrary to his pursuit of life. The husband realized that this was not going to work anymore, so he told the lady that he wanted to marry the lady. The lady told K about the matter as usual. After the cowardly husband learned that K knew the truth, he finally planned to confess to K, but the night before he was about to confess, K committed suicide. The suicide note did not mention that the reason for the suicide might be related to him and his broken love. He only thanked the husband for his care in the letter - he married the lady six months after graduating from college, because he was greedy for the relationship with his wife. After my wife's mother died, I felt even more worried about my wife. In fact, I felt that it was mainly because I really struggled not to want to die. I stopped working and had nothing to do every day, which directly led to depression and nihilism, and I committed suicide. Since the "I" in the article was his old friend, he wrote to me to tell me the truth and wanted to give "me" some guidance that "I" had asked him to give me. 4. The heroine is really pitiful. Fortunately, she was at a relative's house when the male protagonist died, and the male protagonist created the phenomenon that he did not commit suicide but died naturally. The heroine is really pitiful, and both men love her healing beauty. But the father and mother are dependent on each other, and they have no choice but to rent out the best house in the family to others to create a situation where there are more than just the two of them in the family. How can it really be better? 5. After reading it, I was first angry with Mr. For not daring to court him and missed the opportunity. Then I was angry with K for being impolite and died in a house rented by a friend. Later, Mr. Angry concealed everything, causing the heroine to become depressed and distressed about him. Finally, Mr. Angry was still cowardly and left the heroine behind. What should the heroine do? Later, I felt relieved. If the husband were not kind, he would not be satisfied with his mother-in-law, his wife, and the heroine, nor would he be able to get love, nor the friendship of his friend K, who died without blaming him. You won't say you don't trust anyone but still remain friends. He blamed himself for becoming a bad person like his uncle, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide. K would not have committed suicide if he had not been obsessed with something that went against his own pursuits. Mr. K would not have committed suicide if he had not been obsessed with his own moral standards. However, life without pursuit is also incomplete. The more you taste it, the better it becomes. The simple line drawings are the most touching, such sincere depictions of characters. I also admire Wen Tingyun's gorgeous diction and sentence making style, but every time I look at it, I am also moved by the sincere character style that is naturally free of ornamentation.
The gentleman who is taciturn and seems to be steady and calm at all times... Actually has many unspeakable secrets. When I read the letter, the "I" who had just entered society had some indescribable and strange similarity with the husband who was new to the world. The moment I talked to him, I felt like I was back to the feeling before I moved into the lady's house. The author leaves many places blank and leaves readers to imagine why K left, how his wife will live and think after her mother and husband left one after another, how "I" will choose my life after reading the letter, etc. I always feel that there is no right or wrong. What is more important is the choice, the mentality of looking at things, your thoughts and actions after knowing the consequences, and the next choice.
After reading it as a whole, it was still very depressing. The husband was trapped in K's shadow and could not save himself, nor could he tell his wife. He could only bear it silently until he couldn't bear it anymore and died, leaving his wife alone and helpless. She was indeed an unfortunate woman.
After reading this, I suddenly felt a tragic and desolate feeling, and I couldn't help but feel a little empty inside.
The ending was really unexpected, and there was a change of time, space and perspective. Oh my god, I thought it was just telling the story of my husband and I at first, but I didn't expect that the last part was the hard part. I recommend reading it over and over again [Like] [Like] [Like]
There is no right or wrong in love, but the guilt for K made the husband live in pain. The black shadow accompanied him for a long time, and the husband's own heart made it impossible for him to forgive himself.
I thought it was a very healing book before I read it, but I was really depressed after reading it. At first, I felt a little bored when watching "Me" and My Husband. Later, when I was writing my husband's suicide note, I felt an indescribable feeling of boredom in my heart. All in all, it's a very interesting book and worth reading carefully.
My husband hates deceiving and betraying me but he did the same thing. Rather than feeling guilty towards my best friend, I feel that I cannot accept this kind of myself and even dare not confess to my wife. I don't want others to see me in such a bad way. As a bystander, I feel that no one can do anything wrong. Being able to reflect and make amends is much better than most mistakes without knowing that they are wrong and not admitting it. But it may be really difficult for my husband to reconcile with himself...
Analyzing the human heart reveals the human heart. Human emotions are so complex, and you can only understand them by experiencing them yourself. It feels like Mr. And K are both people who are good at "reflecting on themselves" and even blaming themselves. The introduction says, "Mr. Designed K to commit suicide, and he got his wish." After reading this sentence, I think it is wrong. The husband did not expect that K would commit suicide, nor was he what he wanted to see.
I disdain emotional entanglements, so it took me a long time to read Mr.'S autobiography at the end of the novel. Sometimes my husband's ideas coincide with mine, and I appreciate that they are indeed true. I haven't experienced some of them, so I can give you an idea of them. I don't like tragic endings, but writing the ending at the beginning of this book gave me time to prepare and accept it. In short, this book is well written, especially the psychological description is very detailed. [Sending Hearts]
It was a great pleasure to read. I like to keep diaries, so I realized that the author's writing is so delicate that I can capture the thoughts that flash through my mind. I can discover my own shortcomings and gain inspiration and reflections on myself. To me, it's just that I was young and didn't know how to read literature, and mistakenly regarded romance as a treasure.
Very good! I told several stories, all of which were very good. The husband had really deep feelings for his wife. He was tired of the world due to family reasons, and he felt ashamed for the rest of his life because of the news of his friend's death and his discomfort.
I'm still young, only 11 years old. I definitely still can't fully understand it. Read it again later
The real content of the book is actually in the later part, but I regret that I could not finish the part about my parents and myself. The protagonist hurriedly went to Tokyo to see his husband. Whether it is Mr. Tokyo's current situation or his father's life and death, we have no way of knowing. The introduction to this book seems to focus mostly on the content of the last suicide note. I personally like the description of the encounter between the protagonist and his husband.
I didn't expect that K really committed suicide. I thought it was his husband who deliberately murdered him.
